First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!

Now, i want to say some things:

 

I have been away from modding from a long time, and believe me, i wish i had all that free time that i used to have to modding now, but real-life problems are a PIA... 

So, since march i did barely any progress on my projects, and i'm sorry for that. Really, i have to apologize to many people who want me to finish my projects, but i just can't by myself now. But, i had this Raptor in my H.D and i consider it too important to be just left aside, so, i want to propose something: 

I will upload here the Alpha version of this mod, and i'll upload the max files into "Modders Round Table" here in C.A, so, if you are a Modder/Skinner and you think you can improve anything at all on it, and if you have some free time, please, just take a little time and do it. I would be so much grateful. If you liked the results, post it  here and let the other members use your version of this mod. This way, even if slowly, this project can be kept alive. As usual, this mod cannot be used in any payware project, in agreement with C.A Freeware politic.

I'll upload it here, and not in the download section, for a reason: it may be constantly upgraded, and kinda hard to keep up to date. If this is a problem to anyone, let me know, so i change it to the proper place.

Also, be aware that it is a ALPHA version, so bugs and misplacement's are expected. 

F-22A Raptor Alpha 1.0.rar

 

 

In the Alpha version, i'm using some mod's from other users, and i will give proper credit for their work:

 

Julhelm, for his superb F-22's Cockpit;             

Original Raptor Team, because i used their work as a base line to mine, and, therefore, i'm using their decals and ini's on it, with little changes;       

Ravenclaw_007, for the F-22 pilot and ACES II seat (as always, high quality stuff)                

331KillerBee, for the AIM-120C/D in his ordinance pack (must have BTW);                   

Bucanneer Team and Banidos Team, because i'm using some of their effects to create some vapor over the plane. 

 

And, as always, Special thanks to Beta testers: 
Cocas and Ravenclaw_007, who also did help in the model;                  

Stary, 76.IAP.Blackbird, JAT81500, as beta testers

Silverbolt and Dave, who were not directly beta testers for this mod, but were from a previous version, so it's my duty to thank they as well!         

If i forgot someone, please, pm me ASAP.

 

 

That's all, i guess, so, if you have any suggestions, critics or improvements, please post down below.
